Thank you guys so much for the replies, your words are very encouraging and they help me realize that I have the chance to put an end to the unnecessary self-deprecating feelings I have due to hair loss. I live on an Island and I spent the morning in my boat out on the ocean and all I could think about was, "Grow hair, grow". My hair has been growing for 2 weeks now, and as you guys say, the longer my hair is the easier it will be for me. So here I am patiently waiting for my hair to get to a decent length. To be honest I can hardly wait now that I have made the decision to take the plunge. I feel confident that it is a plunge that I won't regret. My title for this post was "nothing to lose", and I feel this is true. I've lost so many hours of happiness due to being down on myself about my hair loss, and if for some reason the system doesn't work out, I always have the dreadful buzzers waiting for me. However, I hope to never use them again, that is the whole reason I am here. Take care guys and have a great weekend. I see from the posts that we are an international group of blokes, so wherever you all are, all the best.
